Fill a sink with warm water and mix in 3 or 4 tbsp. of dishwashing detergent.
Unplug the stand mixer before you begin the cleaning process.
Immerse only the beaters of the commercial mixer into the sink and scrub them with a sponge to remove all food residue.
Wipe the rest of the commercial mixer using a soapy, soft cloth. If food particles won't come off by simply wiping, lay the wet cloth on the debris for a few minutes and scrub again using the soft cloth. Use the sponge to scrub off hard-to-remove material if necessary.
Rinse off the beaters and the rest of commercial mixer using warm, clean water and a soft cloth.
Wipe the appliance using the dish towel and store it ready for its next use.
